Finisterre

How ethical is Finisterre?

Finisterre is a fashion brand which was launched in 2003 in Cornwall, designed around the needs of surfers on the rugged North Atlantic coast.

Finisterre has achieved an acceptable score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Fashion Retailers Ratings Table but Ethical Accreditation has not yet been achieved. This is important because it provides additional warranty on the company’s wider ethical, sustainable, and social policies and records.

Read more about the issues facing the Ethical Fashion Retailers sector and find out which companies have achieved accreditation for their commitment to being ethical and sustainable.

In which areas does Finisterre perform well?

Finisterre performs well across all of our our criteria. For instance, the brand receives a top rating in the Environmental Report category, as its Impact Report 2022 demonstrates a robust commitment to sustainability.

It also gets a top rating for Animal Welfare, as the only animal product used by the brand is wool, and it has a statement confirming that no mulesing is used.

What can Finisterre do to improve its ethical score?

Finisterre is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Finisterre would join the certified ethical brands leading the way in progressive and sustainable practices and be permitted to display The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Mark in its communications.
